U.S.-CERT is warning of attacks targeting Linux-based infrastructures using compromised SSH keys. After access is gained to the system, local kernel exploits are used to gain root access. A rootkit is then installed to steal more SSH keys. The attack could be related to a flaw affecting Debian-based encryption keys discovered earlier this year.
